The Gospel of Ramakrishna by Swami Abhedananda

Description

The Gospel of Ramakrishna is a book by Swami Abhedananda, first published in 1907. This work presents the life and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th-century Indian mystic and saint who inspired a spiritual renaissance in India and attracted followers across the world. Swami Abhedananda, a direct disciple of Ramakrishna and a key figure in the Ramakrishna Order, offers a thoughtful and intimate account of his master’s profound spiritual insights, everyday sayings, and encounters with seekers of all kinds. The book captures the simplicity, depth, and spontaneity of Ramakrishna’s message—one that emphasized direct experience of God, devotion beyond ritualism, and the essential unity of all religions. Unlike more structured theological texts, The Gospel of Ramakrishna offers a living picture of a spiritual teacher in action, blending parables, conversations, and personal reflections. It became an important contribution to the early 20th-century transmission of Vedantic thought to Western readers, many of whom were searching for an alternative to materialism and dogma. This text continues to resonate with those drawn to universal spirituality, inner devotion, and the mystical path.
